Xianzhou Luofu 1

— Try your best to ensure you're safe and sound, everyone. We might already know what happened on Luofu, but it doesn't mean everything will go smoothly. — Himeko was briefing us on the matter, because 4 out of 6 passengers of the Express will be leaving to Luofu. Dan Heng, just as he said, decided to stay on Express for now, to think, and to protect Himeko in case something happens. — Lost, I know you're excited to see Xianzhou, but try your best to stay out of troubles. We wouldn't want you to be in danger by yourself, after all.

— I will, Miss Himeko, don't worry, I'm a responsible adult...most of the time, anyways. — Scratching the back of my neck, I suddenly realized something. — Wait, how am I gonna communicate with you guys if I'm alone? I don't even have a phone.

— No worries! — March chimed in, pointing at Dan Heng, as if he's a messiah. — Dan Heng got a few spares for cases like this! I'm sure he'll be glad to lend you one!

— Sure, give me a moment. — Dan Heng, sighing upon hearing March, went to his room to fetch me a phone. I'm pretty sure I saw a smile on his lips for a moment. Must be hard to keep stern face around March all the time.

— With that matter settled, remember to stick close to each other. I know you're capable on your own, but Luofu is new to everyone of us...well, except for Lost. I guess he knows Luofu like the back of his hand. Am I right? — Himeko asked with a smile, folding her hands on her chest.

— You're not wrong here. I know Luofu's layout and places of interest, but I'd still prefer to stick in a group. If not for my own safety, then for the sake of March and Stelle. — Turning to the troublemakers of the team, I couldn't help but grin. — After all, Mr. Yang has to keep an eye on those two. Can't make him do all the hard work.

— Hey! We're not troublesome! — March pouted, with Stelle following suit.

— Not yet, at least, — I teased, giving them a playful wink.

Dan Heng returned a moment later, handing me a sleek, minimalist phone. It was very simple in design, with a black case and a single camera. Turning on the screen, I was met with a group chat, "Astral Express Family", already opened.

— I've already connected it to our network. Personalize it how you see fit, it's yours now, after all. — Dan Heng gave me a nod, which I returned, looking at the screen. — If you have any questions regarding some functions, don't be afraid to text me. I'll make a guess that your technology are not as advanced as here.

— In terms of phones like this, we're pretty close. Unless we're talking about projecting holograms of the one talking with you, then it's different. — I nodded, placing the phone in the pocket of my uniform.

Speaking of uniform...I didn't give it much thought before, but it looks gorgeous. It's definitely of Chinese design, which will blend me well with the Luofu people, and it looks like I'm a member of the Alchemy Commission. Well, it's not too far from the truth, given how Alchemy Commission members are healers, most of the time.

— I'll have to learn how to use a sword while I'm at it, — Taking the sword I made when I was talking with Dan Heng before, I traced my finger on it's blade, covering it in a golden light. This blade was made from the roots I grew, so enhancing them to be sharper and more durable was a piece of cake. I can't fight using my powers all the time, especially not on Luofu, given how hard it would be to explain why I can do what I do. — I have some pointers on how to use a sword, after all.

— Do you have any previous experience with using one, anyways? — Stelle asked, looking at the miracle I was performing with stars in her eyes.

— If playing with a sword as a child and watching countless movies and characters in a game using sword as their primary weapons counts, then yeah, I do have some experience. — I laughed, turning around to test something.
